Objective To study the effects of intraperitoneal adherence of pus mosses on the efficacy of open repair(OR)and laparoscopic repair(LR)for perforated peptic ulcers(PPUs). Methods Intraperitonealad-herence of pus mosses was divided into the first,second and third stage,respectively. Surgical duration,volume of peritoneal drainage ,rate of abnormal wound healing ,number of intensive care unit transfer ,recovery time of bowel function ,ambulation time ,length of hospital stay ,and postoperative treatment abandonment rate were compared. Results There were 78 ,46 ,and 29 patients for the three stages in OR group ,and 71 ,39 ,and 15 patients in LR group,respectively. There were significant differences insurgical duration,volume of peritoneal drainage,rate of abnormalwound healing,number of ICU transfer,recovery time of bowel function,ambulation time,length of hospital stay about the first stage between the two surgical methods(P values were 0.000,0.000, 0.015,0.000,0.000,0.000,and 0.043 respectively)except for treatment abandonment rate(P value was 0.209). There were significant differences in volume of peritoneal drainage ,rate of abnormal wound healing ,number of ICU transfer,recovery time of bowel function,ambulation time,and length of hospital stay(P values were 0.000, 0.033,0.000,0.000,0.001,and 0.028 respectively)for the second stage except surgical duration and treatment abandonment rate(P values were 0.196 and 0.358 respectively) between the two procedures. The differences were significant in surgical duration ,volume of peritoneal drainage ,and length of hospital stay between the two methods (P values were 0.039 ,0.003 ,0.024 ,and 0.002 respectively) for the third stage but there were no significant differencesin rate of abnormal wound healing , number of ICU transfer , recovery time of bowel function ,ambulation time ,and treatment abandonment rate (P values were 0.175 ,0.173 ,0.766 ,and 0.757 respectively). Conclusions LR is superior to OR under the first stage of pus moss and still has advantages under the second stage. However,LR may be inferior to OR under the third stage.

Objective To observe the effects of aerobic exercise on low-and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol,and to investigate the relationship between exercise intensities and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) changes.Methods Sixty patients with low HDL-C were randomly allocated into a high intensity exercise group,a moderate intensity group or a low intensity group with 20 in each group.According to each patient's maximal heart rate in a restrictive electrocardiogram exercise test,the different aerobic exercise intensities were formulated as follows.The target heart rate of the high-intensity training group was 90% of each subject's maximum heart rate; in the moderate-intensity group it was 70% ; in the low-intensity group it was 50%.All 3 groups jogged on a medical treadmill for 20 minutes every other day with their heart rates monitored at all times.They maintained the target heart rate for 20 minutes.The experiment lasted 2 months.Results In the high intensity group HDL-C increased from 0.81 ± 0.22 to 1.04 ± 0.33 mmol/L after training; in the moderate intensity group it increased from 0.82±0.20 to 1.03 ±0.37 mmol/L; in the low intensity group it increased from 0.79 ±0.25 to 0.82 ± 0.27 mmol/L.That increase in the low intensity group was not statistically significant.After high intensity or moderate intensity training the HDL-C increases were statistically significant,but the difference between the groups was not.After training,in 15 cases among the high intensity group,13 cases from moderate intensity group and in 1 case from the low intensity group the HDL-C level achieved a normal value (≥ 1.04 mmol/L).Comparing the high intensity group to the low intensity group or the moderate intensity group to the low intensity group,there were significant differences in the number of patients who achieved normal HDL-C readings,but there was no significant difference between high intensity group and the moderate intensity group.Conclusion Low intensity aerobic exercise has no obvious effect on low HDL-C levels.High or moderate intensity aerobic exercise can effectively raise the HDL-C level,but there is no significant difference in the fraction of patients reaching normal values between high and moderate intensity aerobic exercise.So moderate intensity is recommended for improving low levels of HDL cholesterol.
